I have not been to Genting for quite some time already, let's see... 7 years? since college. Been wanting to go with different groups of people, but nobody really wanna go there. They much prefer Cameron. Finally, this year... our gang decided to pay a visit and 10 of us formed a group and headed out.
We took a bus and reached there quite early in the morning, we can't check in yet as the time had not arrived so we hang out in Starbucks. The rest went to wandered around while I ordered hot choc with Calvin and started painting away...
Soon after leaving our baggage at the counter, we went for breakfast at First World Plaza, in Marry Borwn restaurant. Had a hot bowl of porrige and waited around...
We went to purchase the outdoor theme park tickets for unlimited 1 day pass of RM44 per adult. We shared the amount with friends as we can get a free ticket with every purchase of 1 more courtesy of Digi! always the smarter choice ;)
Skies was bright throughout, not hazy at all.. moderately cool.. was warmer compared to 7 years ago... global warming perhaps? managed to snap rainbow... :)
I skipped this cos the queue was too long, instead, I snapped them... tried out a panning shot.. was too dark so I PS-ed it to look brighter.
I challenged myself to ride this towering "Space Shot" ride. Rode with YS and ah pang. the thing is there's 4 rows of 3 seats strapped to each side of the tower. it will slowly lift u up... upon reaching the top... it will push you down very very fast. I thought I'd be fine.. but when i'm on top of the seat high up there... my heart raced... like mad.. and i can't control but let out scream.. hahahaha... YS screamed beside me as well... (blush..) but it was scary for my "old" heart.. :p but better than the rest who opt not to ride it.. ehheheheheh.. ..:p
Had our lunch at this Shanghai 10 restaurant... I'm not objecting but im not looking forward to it.. hehehee..something tells me it looked fancy but lacks substance..
weird tasteless cold dish...jelly fish thingy?
fried rice... hmmm. so so ....
Xiao Long bao.... i've tasted better ones...
weird salty cakes...
crunchy outside... yam stuffed inside....
Went to Ripley's believe it or not museum too.. featuring wacky collection and items from the man himself.. RM27 if not mistaken... looked exactly the same as before except a few small sections were closed off.. and the magic gate got broken... sigh... Sunrise... managed to take a glimpse of perhaps the nicest sunrise i've ever seen so far... beside a mountain.. looked out in the horizon... endless horizon.. featuring golden color saturation from the setting sun... nice.... nothing blocking the view... just us and the scene... and cold breeze.. can you imagine that? :)
Well, what do I think of this trip? it's not bad going out for a trip with a bunch of nice people... but the trip itself was not what I have imagined it to be.. it looked.. too familiar. I thought given a 7 years gap there'd be a substantial change.. but i was wrong..will i ever visit this place again? you betcha... in the near future? no... LOL... :)
P/S: Special thanks to Iverson for solely organizing the whole trip to us! Kam Siah you very very muchy!

Google homepage has seen some weird logos... but this has got to be one of the most interesting... to pay tribute to the Pacman video game... today's logo is made up of the game itself... and.. it's actually playable.. LOL... try it! @ www.google.com
Had a sip of Starbuck's hot chocolate while waiting to check in to hotel last Saturday morning.. ^^ it was deelicious!
Went for a morning photoshoot with Felicia somewhere near my place. ^^ when I reached there, the sun's not out yet but the skies are filled with rich golden color layers..
shoot around the area after sunrise, managed to capture this big honey bee buzzing around ^^
The outing on 3rd May was in conjunction with our 3 days holidays (1st May replacement) hehe, organized by WH. First time shooting sunrise in a long long time and first in QEII.
The sceneries that morning wasn't great, we were a bit late for sunrise shoot and the sun was already rising as you can see from the pics. the skies wasn't dramatic so I had to adjust a bit to turn down the brightness.
First stop, "Chew Jetty". These were the villages whereby the household's surname was Chew (周). The houses were built on top of wooden foundation and most of the houses are made of wooden planks. 
One of the houses were engulfed in fire before and hence the charred remains on one of the wooden wall. 
Small hand painted road sign along the road...
Penny bought this from one of the small mart along the road, it was actually emptied chicken egg shells filled in with jelly. RM0.50 a pop! :) 
We can see some fisherman's boat nearing the end of the jetty, guess most of the villager here are fisherman?
Nice bird... he was very very scared when i'm pointing the barrel towards him.. or her? hehehe... quite hard to get a focus on him with all the cage's bars all around. plus, i'm lazy and slow to do manual focus... 
One of my favourite movie of all time, comes in this sequel. it's amazing and here's my rendition of the movie poster's master of Weng Chun. Ip Man (pronounced as Yip Mahn)
